Hi

Been browsing these forums for a while, bought a lot of kit thanks to your discussions, fridge, table, air bed.

I have a problem with my tent, its a gelert corona 6 man tent and the middle section seems to be sagging downwards.

I bought the tent becuase I could stand up in it but no matter how hard I pull the guyline ropes on the side the middle section goes down. There is a internal compartment which clips to the innner side of the middle pole, if I added this i think it would dip even more.

Seen many pictures of the tent but none have or look sagging like mine.

Few things I think could be, middle poles side bits that clip into ground clips could be too far out? Broken pole?

Can any experts help who have been putting up tents for years,

Picture included

Good Morning Bernie thanks for the quick reply, it only has front guylines at the back, where that air vent thing is, Not at the front of it.

How tight should the sides be, tight so you hear the ping when you flick the line?

Would you recommend using 2 seprate lines on each of the 2 flap hooks, rather than have 1 that goes to both points, then down to a peg?

Also make sure you have the poles in the right sleeves, the rear pole should be shorter than the front two and probably is colour coded as such, so you may have the rear pole threaded through the centre sleeve.
